I am Mr.Tom Bello,Bank Manager of Owena bank ltd,Lagos Branch.I got your
contact from the world trade center (WTC) Regional office in
lagos,Nigeria.Although the details of my intention was not made known to
them.Actually,I listed your name amongst four other names & prayed over
them & decided to contact you directly.

I have a very urgent & confidential bussiness proposition for you & for our
overall mutual interest. On june 6 1997,an American oil
consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Mr
Barry Kelly made a numbered time(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar
months,valued at USD$5,000,000.00( five million dollars) in my branch.Upon
maturity,i sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no
reply.After a monthwe sent a reminder,& finally we discovered from his
contract employers NNPC,that Mr.Barry died in an automobile accident.

On further investigation,i found out that he did not leave a WILL & all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.I thereforemadefurther
investigation & discovered that Mr.Barry did not declare any next of kin in
all his official documents,including his bank deposit paperwork.

This sum USD$5,000,000.00 is still floating in the bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will
come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Laws, At the expiration of 7 years,the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if nobody applies to
claim the funds. Consequently,my proposal is that i will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as a next of kin of Mr Barry Kelly.

This is simple 1)I will like you to provide me immediately with your full
names & address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents &
fidavits,which will put you as next of kin. 2)We shall employ the services
of two attorneys for drafting & notarization of the WILL and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for
the transfer.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.

There is no risk at all as the attorney and my position will do the
paperwork for this
transaction as the branch manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction.
If you are interested,please reply immediately via this private email
address. Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand.
PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY,and be rest assured that this would be
most profitable for both of us because i shall require your assistance to
invest my share in your country.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
